Owner's Manual 14. TAPE OUTPUT These unbalanced RCA connections tap the main mix output to make simultaneous recording and PA work more convenient. Connect these to your recorder's inputs. (See also main mix [29] on page 19.) Mono Out: If you want to feed a mono signal to your tape deck or other device, simply use an RCA Y-cord to combine these outputs. Do not attempt this with any other outputs on the 802-VLZ3. POWER ON POWER 20 19 15. AUX SEND This is a TRS 1⁄4" balanced/unbalanced output, commonly used to feed stage monitors (with aux set to pre) or an external effects processor (with aux set to post). The aux send [28] knobs tap a portion of each channel's signal to provide an output here, allowing you to set up a nice stage monitor mix, or to set up an external effect from different channels. See the aux send details on page 18. 16. 1⁄4" MAIN OUTS These 1⁄4" TRS balanced/unbalanced outputs feed the main mix out into the waiting world. You can feed your amplifiers or powered speakers this way, or through the XLR main outs [17]. To use these outputs to drive balanced inputs, connect 1⁄4" TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) phone plugs like this: Tip = + (hot) Ring = -(cold) Sleeve = Ground For most music recording and PA applications, unbalanced lines are fine. To drive unbalanced inputs, connect 1⁄4" TS (Tip-Sleeve) phone plugs like this: Tip = + (hot) Sleeve = Ground 17. XLR MAIN OUTS Use these to send the main mix out into the line-level balanced inputs of your amplifier or powered speakers. These low-impedance outputs are fully balanced, and this output is 6 dB hotter than other outputs. 18. XLR MAIN OUTPUT LEVEL SWITCH Engaging this switch reduces the level of the balanced XLR main outputs, so you can feed the m­ icrophone input of, say, ­another mixer. (You can safely connect the XLR outputs into an input that provides 48V phantom power.) 19.
